Meet Charlie Devonte Marshall

What’s your name and where are you  from? My name is Charlie Devonté Marshall. I was born in uptown New Orleans, Louisiana and currently now residing in Los Angeles, California.  ———- Why do you love what you do? I love what I do as an actor, fitness model and fitness trainer, because I get to be help create something so special for someone else. No matter if it’s playing a character as an actor to bring someone’s creative story to life. Modeling in clothes or with supplements for fitness brands to help create a connection with their targeted consumers. Or just getting to train and transform someone’s physique to help them feel great and confident about themselves and help them reach whatever goals they are trying to accomplish. It brings me so much joy in getting to say I got to be a part of that journey and getting to see the final outcome. -———- What makes you different? I would say what makes me different is that I am very much so a well rounded person and will learn or have an open mind to whatever ideas someone has for me. I like taking on challenges and being able to help create something beautiful and unique. I would consider myself to be a multi talented person who can do many things from creative directing, acting out characters, dancing and showing off my moves and so much more.   ———- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In 5 years I see myself on multiple magazine covers, playing more lead roles in movies and tv shows and being know as a top celebrity trainer within this industry. I would like that have my talk show podcast “The Fit View” on a major network and be able to talk with some really huge names in both the fitness and entertainment industry. ———- What do you want to accomplish in life? I’m 29 going on 30 and I feel like I have accomplished so much already! From helping young artist breakout into the entertainment industry, to getting my PRO card in Natural Bodybuilding, getting signed by 3 agencies and landing roles in movies and modeling gigs. I am grateful and looking forward to just continuing on expanding those accomplishments like getting on the front cover of a magazine and being the lead role for a movie or tv show and so much more. ———- What do you bring to your industry? I am such a open minded human being and I think what I bring to my industry is that I don’t care of your status, I am always willing to help in whatever way I can. Being dependable and having that drive to make it happen is such a powerful thing because not only does it show your professionalism, but also shows your passion for what you made a commitment too. ———-  What do you want to be remembered by? I want people to remember me by knowing that I am a fighter and although in my life I went through so much from being in a cult as a child to being depressed and insecure during high school and then also suicidal in college because of how much internally broken I felt and feeling never good enough or that no one would accept me fully with who I am and what i’ve dealt with. To now being able to be a voice and advocate for those dealing with mental health and allowing myself to just be me which has helped others gain the confidence to fully be themselves and go after whatever dreams they set their minds too without limitations! Also to have people see me or things I’ve down around the world and be like “Yup! Charlie Made It”.
